Vancouver archdiocese and private school deny wrongdoing, sue alleged abusers

The claim filed by St. Thomas More Collegiate names five men as well as the Christian Brothers and its branches in Canada and North America, saying it is unaware of any specific instances of abuse by members of the religious order — but the defendants themselves would be at fault for any abuse that did occur.

The class-action, which was certified by a B.C. Supreme Court judge this month, alleges that senior members of the Christian Brothers orchestrated the transfers of the six men, despite knowing about the abuse they perpetrated at Mount Cashel.Article content The class-action lawsuit says one of the six men, Edward English, confessed to abusing children at Mount Cashel before he was transferred, and all six were later convicted of sexually or physically abusing orphans at the Newfoundland facility.

The class members have suffered significant damage, it says, including pain and suffering, psychological injuries, addiction issues, inability to have normal and healthy sexual development, as well as spiritual trauma and loss of faith.
